Bug 548107

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /bin/sed "create" access on sed0qskIr.

Detailed Description:

sed is called by /etc/openvpn/client.up which is a script to update the resolv.conf. If you want to reproduce it follow the instruction how to connect to the internal VPN in the Red Hat wiki.

SELinux denied access requested by sed. It is not expected that this access is
required by sed and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.
